My Xmetal Therapy

XX is the middle ground x-metal it gives great coverage while still being sleek. Xs are great because of the squarish shape is unique in the x-metal line which fits many people better than traditional rounded x-metals and provides more coverage from sides. I love both these frames and never get tired of switching from one to the other. One bad point about Xs is shorter earstems some people don't find that comfortable.
 
I am waiting for Xire's evaluation. Sometimes the temple to temple measurements don't necessarily translate to how it fits. Doesn't the XS use different t-shox that are hollow as compared to the R1, Juliet, and XX? I currently use "tuned" 15 t-shox on my Romeos and XX.
 
The Xs design is a bit less flexible at the nose so the hollow shox balance it out to almost same fit once you break them in for a few month..
